About this event
ConcertGuest Artists:
Join the Etobicoke Philharmonic on Sunday, January 31, 2027 at Humber Valley United Church - 76 Anglesey Blvd., Etobicoke (map) - for From Spark to Flame.
Our annual Discovery concert is a special, no-intermission 'listen and learn' matinee where we explore the story behind the music.
This year, we look at the story behind the soloists who choose to step into the spotlight. Why do they do it? What does it take? How do they get started?
We’re delighted to host three dedicated young soloists of the North York Music Festival Concerto Competition 2026, who ignite the stage with their youthful energy and passion. They turn years of artistic development and technical practice into impressive, polished performances.
Ravel’s mesmerizing Boléro offers the same theme to each instrument of the orchestra as a solo, gradually building to a thrilling, full fortissimo finale.
